auntie and people are on the streets it isn't a rich place by any means but the sense of community is obvious. but the home karen simon and thirteen year old jayden aren't so happy they fell in love with the place moved here years ago when a small consultancy from home changes bilingual and regards himself as more spanish than british and they're watching events unfold in the u.k. with a mitigated horror yeah absolutely shamed because the every person i spoke to here in spain looks at me with pity or with with a look in their face to say why one why are you doing this and i'm so sorry that they're doing this to me i'm so sorry because i just cannot understand what is your problem what is the problem tell me what are you going to gain from leaving what are you so i've uploaded no idea i can't answer them they worry about the impact of bricks it's on their business but they were removed or about their son there was

heading in. on the portuguese side of the river the man in charge of the euro town has everything to say for closer european integration and nothing good about it. but is rather. an isolated europe germany alone england alone france alone cannot compete with bigger economy it makes sense to be united with them it's also the idea of our euro town our little villages have only small potential but they are bigger and stronger on whatever. merging with his portuguese neighbor has done nothing to stop violence a celebrating its spanish traditions arguments in favor of brics it restoring british pride a mix with derision the kendricks can only watch their color of the e.u. becoming stronger and closer and they insist they will never go back to britain or the country they no longer understand largely al-jazeera i am wanting something. five years ago a malaysian airlines flight m h three seventy disappeared with two hundred thirty

nine people on board it remains one of the world's biggest unsolved aviation mysteries but as castro reports now from virginia a major upgrade to the existing plane tracking technology could help prevent further add disasters. how can a passenger plane than ish without a trace in the twenty first century years of searching for the wreckage of m h three seventy have yielded little clue only a few pieces of debris and frustration. of not knowing exactly where the aircraft crashed into the indian ocean it's amazing that in this world where we track our cars or kids or animals that we don't track aircraft in real time in two thousand and fourteen air traffic controllers had only a general idea of m.h. three seventy's location over open water in fact that's been the norm for flights covering most of the earth the aviation industry has long relied on land based

radars to provide flight surveillance those radars only cover ten percent of the planet you can't build a radar tower in the ocean when you're flying over the oceans nobody knows where you are the aviation industry has accommodated by spacing out planes over radar blind areas and sticking as close as possible to radar zones if you've ever taken the popular flight between new york and london you may notice that every route takes you on a northward arc a detour in a sense over canada and greenland that's because flights have had to stay within eyeshot of the land based radar towers there but starting this month new eyes will be watching and watching from space to us companies ariane and radio have teamed up to operate a satellite flight surveillance system that leaves no area of the planet uncovered the last of the web of sixty six satellites were delivered to orbit in january the

only system that has truly global coverage meaning that there is no spot on the earth poles south pole north pole anywhere that there isn't. the m h three seventy disappearance led to new international standards for aircraft position reporting over open ocean area on any radium say their technology exceeds those standards feeding location data to air traffic controllers. at least every eight seconds. have another situation that arises where we lose an aircraft but if it were to arise with the technology we have no where does the vast majority of planes already have satellite transmitters onboard perhaps ushering in a new industry standard. castro al-jazeera leesburg virginia as many of you will know it is international women's day and thousands of women in istanbul have defied a band to march to lock the event the demonstration was in solidarity with women
